JOHN F. MONNOT, OF PARIS, FRANCE.

RADIATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1-7, 1913.

Original application filed December 10, 1910, Serial No. 596,707. Divided and this application led April ATo all whom may concern:

Be it known that I, -JoHNF MoNNoT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements 1n radiators and consists in a novel sectional construction.

The objects of my invention are to impro-ve the construction of sectional radiators.

I will now proceed to describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show a radiator constructed in accordance with my invention, and also in accordance with thek invention of my application filed December 10, 1910, Sr. No. 596,707, of which this is a division, and will then point out the novel features in claims.

In said drawings: Figure 1 shows a front elevation of one form of radiator embodying my invention; Fig. 2 shows a fragmentary longitudinal section of the radiator on a larger scale; Fig. 3 shows a transverse section of one of the elements of the radiator on the line af--m of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 shows a transverse section of one of the sections of the radiator.

Referring now to the drawings, the radiator there shown comprises a column 1 and two series of radiator sections 3, connected to this column at points 4, 5 and 6 and similarly connected to each other. In t-he particular construction shown the column 1 is between the two series of radiator sections, but this particular location of the column 1 is optional, as it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various other arrangements of the column with respect to the radiator sections are practicable; for example, that the column 1 may be located at the end of a series of radiator sections. Indeed, in the construction shown, such radiator column is at the end of either of the two series of radiator sections, taken separately. The const-ruction of the column 1 is such that it may be formed either asa casting or it may be pressed by familiar pressing methods. As is the case in ordi- :nary sectional radiator constructions, there may be few or many of the radiator 4sections 3, as desired or required. These sections '3 are of sheetmetal construction, comprising Serial N0. 621,084.

side plates 3a, usually corrugated, as shown, both for strength and stiffness, and to give increased heating surface, and are joined at the edges-by brazing, welding, or in any other suitable manner. The facility `with which, at the present day, such parts may be welded together by the acetylene welding process, the electric welding' process, or similar processes, makes the welding of these plates together at their edges a very 65. I

practicable and simple matter.

In stamping the plates 3a for the sections 3, ported bosses are formed at the points 4, 5 and 6, where the radiator sect-ions areto be joined together, or to the column 1, the ports of these bosses permittin communication between the sections of t e radiator, and also permitting the passage of the hereinafter mentioned through-bolts 7. To join these sections together and to the column 1, through-bolts 7 are provided, these bolts being of I-section approximately, e., having grooves in their sides, constituting circulation passages. Said bolts are threaded at their ends, one end screwing into the column 1, While on the other end screws anut 9, whereby the several sections are pressed together.

Within the bosses 4, 5 and 6 of the radiator sections, spacing bushings 11 are pro- 85 vided. I customarily provide suitable jointmaking material 14 between the bossed ort-ions of adjacent radiator sections, to orm tight joints; this packing material being either a suitable elastic acking material,.90 or a suitable metallic packing material, or a suitable cement; or in fact any other jointmaking` material suitable for the purpose. The spacing bushings 11 are provided with ports 15 for the flow of liquid or vapor, freel 95 circulationl of such liquid or Vapor being thereby permitted.

It will be noted that the sectional radiator construction just described is at once simple,'inexpensive,.and very effective, in-u 100 suring tight joints, and permitting if desired, a very light construction of the sections, through the employment of very thin metal. It further permits the construction of these sections of metal of much higher heat conductivity, than iron or steel,'such for example as copper, brass, or even alumil num.

While the radiator above described is adapted for use in the same manner as ordinary steam .or hot water vradiators, and to that end is provided with a, connection 2 6,

whereby it may be connected to the supply pipe of the heating system, L ,particula'rly' intend Ithis radiator for use as an electric radiator, that is. tony, .a 'radiator having wit-hin it an electric heating element, the heat generate by which is imparted to -water or other liquid within the radiator,

there is customarily a refractory spacing and insulating material 19, which mayonnvenientl be a pulverulent material, such as chalk, p aster of- Paris, talc or other suitable material. This heat-in element is suspended within the column from the upper portion of said column and above it a switch 21 is provided for regulating the action of the heating element.

In my application Sr. No. 596,707, of which the present application is a division,.I have claimed the radiator in its combination with heat generatin means, and insanother vapplication tiled ecember 10, 1910, Sr. No. 596,708` l havefclaimed a heating element such as above described. Therefore the caims 'of this resent application are retritcted to the sec tonal structure. of the ra- Since the to and bottom Hanges ofthe I- section throng ebolts 7 fit-closely wit-hin the ports of the bosses 4,' 5 and 6, of the sections of the radiator, these through-bolts not only tie the sections of the radiator togther, but Center corresponding rt's iof t e several sections and support What I claim istA ort 17 of refractory4 l e intermediate sections 3 and the central section 1, s v

I a `plurality of 'radiating sections, the said radiating sections having registering'apertures for the flow of fluid from. one to an other, and means for holding said sections to ether, comprising rods provided with circu ation passages in their sides, said rods passing' through said registering apertures and substantially filling same, except for saidside passages, 'clamping means on'said ,rods for forcing the radiating sections together, and ported spacing bushings of an interlor diameter greater than that of said rods within said radiating sections and surrounding said rods, and serving to prevent collapse of the radiating sections.
